Rear knocking noise over bumps

[Kwok8]

Lately been hearing a slight knocking noise going over speed bumps coming from the rear suspension area.

Does anyone know what this could be? Brushes?

Sounds like bushes.

My sister had an identical problem in her TT with the speed bumps in our area and it was the bushes.

Does anyone know how much this would cost to fix?

Don't really want to go dealers. Maybe a specialist in the midlands.

Bushes don't cost too much. It will be labour what stings. An independant would probably do them for a couple of hours labour max.

Looking at under £200.

Where in the Midlands are you?

[Kwok8]

South birmingham.

Someone has recommended Midland VW.

But my car is 3.5 years old and done 33k, should bushes be knackered already?

Yeah on speed bumps but get the polybushes fitted if you want longevity. You might as well get the fronts done at the same time...but not boththe inner n outer I remember write

I had the same problem with my ed30 and it was the stricker for the tailgate try a bit of duck tape round the stricker that should stop the knocking noise. Hope this helps

HD my rear bushes replaced under warranty following the same symptoms.

Yeah, the rubber knobs on the parcel shelf strings do sound a bit like suspension knocks when you go over bumps.

Whip your parcel shelf out for a bit and see if the noise is still there.
